▶Are TNHB flats freehold or leasehold?
Most TNHB flats are FREEHOLD — registered in your name with full ownership. Some older TNHB layouts had 99-year leasehold but most have been converted to freehold. Always check the specific scheme document for tenure. Freehold flats are easier to resell, mortgage, and have higher market value.
▶Which TNHB Chennai layouts are most prestigious?
Premium TNHB Chennai areas: Anna Nagar (Western, Eastern), Besant Nagar, K.K. Nagar, Ashok Nagar — these were TNHB-developed in 1960s-80s and are now prime locations worth ₹2-15 crore. Mid-range: Velachery, Tambaram, Madipakkam. Newer growth: TNHB layouts in OMR, ECR, and Maraimalai Nagar (smart city).
▶Can non-Tamil Nadu residents apply for TNHB?
Yes — many TNHB schemes are open to all Indian citizens (no strict Tamil Nadu nativity requirement). However, certain schemes give priority/reservation to Tamil Nadu natives. Always read scheme documents carefully. Investors from Bengaluru, Mumbai often participate in TNHB Coimbatore, Madurai schemes due to lower prices vs metros.
